Again this week, I found only 1 debut YA novel. But boy, does this sound different? What do you think... TBR pile or not so much?
FREAKBOY by Kristin Elizabeth Clark
From the outside, Brendan Chase seems to have it pretty easy. He’s a
star wrestler, a video game aficionado, and a loving boyfriend to his
seemingly perfect match, Vanessa. But on the inside, Brendan struggles
to understand why his body feels so wrong—why he sometimes fantasizes
having long hair, soft skin, and gentle curves. Is there even a name for
guys like him? Guys who sometimes want to be girls? Or is Brendan just a
freak?
In Freakboy's razor-sharp verse, Kristin
Clark folds three narratives into one powerful story: Brendan trying to
understand his sexual identity, Vanessa fighting to keep her and
Brendan’s relationship alive, and Angel struggling to confront her
demons.

I don't think this one would be for me.
This one sounds like it could really speak to a number of people who can identify with the turmoil this character is going through. I'm not sure if this is one for my TBR but I wish the author the very best with a book that could very helpful to many.
Wow. This is definitely a subject that must find the 'right' readers. I'm sure they're out there. Kudos to the author for being brave enough.
Niche. It would definitely be an interesting read, betting behind this psyche.
Sounds like a very interesting read. I'm not sure how I feel about this cover though.
